Ozeki Tochiazuma bounced back from an opening-day loss with a win over Tokitsuumi on the second day of the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament.
Tochiazuma was muscled out by komusubi Wakanosato on Sunday but was all business on Monday when he overwhelmed the No. 4 maegashira at the face off and shoved his opponent out in a matter of seconds to improve to 1-1.
"I just tried to forget about yesterday's bout," said Tochiazuma. "I focused on fighting my own sumo and was able to take control early."
